Prep for Tough Times-1 (No-Cook Veggie Soup) # Sobrevivencia-1, preparar una sopa sin cocinar # 求生技巧-1(免煮菜湯)

in #cn7 years ago (edited)

Versión en español a continuación 下面有西班牙文和中文版: Hiking with my GF in the mountains near Changhua (彰化 Central Taiwan Zhānghuà / Janghuah) about a dozen years ago, we encountered a slight problem. I had made a reservation for a small cabin so that we could take a rest in the evening, but on arriving in the late afternoon, we realized that there were no stores nearby where we could buy something to eat. My GF assumed we would have to go without dinner, but I love to improvise solutions.

Luckily for us, I found an itinerant fruit & vegetable dealer who sold us some leafy greens (and fruit) which I was able to make into tasty soup without using a stove.


CC0--pxhere.com This tricycle-mounted cart is similar to the ones one finds in the countryside. For obvious reasons, the ones in the mountains are motorized.

Here is how I prepared our simple meal:

(1) I rinsed and tore the bokchoy (白菜 báicài / bairtsay) up into small pieces (cooks more quickly)

(2) I added a few goji berries (枸杞 gǒuqǐ / goouchii) [Potential health benefits and quality of dried fruits: Goji fruits, cranberries and raisins: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27979197]

(3) I poured some hot water (from the drinking water fountain provided by the cabin owner) into our insulated thermos mugs to prewarm them. Then I added the bokchoy and the goji berries, poured hot water on top and put the lid on.

(4) After about an hour, we opened our mugs and enjoyed some warm veggie soup. We hadn’t thought of bringing any seasoning with us, but we still enjoyed the flavor (the intense hunger we experienced after our hike made us appropriately grateful for our makeshift meal).

Most leafy vegetables cook rather easily. If you add carrots or similar root vegetables, you would need to cut them very thinly and perhaps add more hot water.

Another option would be to boil water using a solar heater and store the water using something like a black teapot.

I hope my simple example will inspire other people to come up with good ideas in the coming economic collapse.


Hace una docena de años, me fuí de senderismo con mi novia en las montañas cerca de Changhua (彰化 Zhānghuà / Janghuah) en el centro de Taiwán. Yo había reservado una pequeña cabina para que pudiéramos tomar un descanso de la noche, pero al llegar en la tarde, nos dimos cuenta de que en las inmediaciones no se encontraba ninguna bodega. Le pareció a mi novia que tendríamos que acostarse sin cenar, pero a mi me encanta improvisar soluciones.

Por suerte, me encontré un vendedor itinerante de frutas y hortalizas y pudí comprar verduras para preparar una sopa sabrosa sin utilizar estufa.

CC0--pxhere.com Este carro es muy parecido a los que se encuentran en el campo. Claro, la diferencia es que en las montañas son motorizados.

Aquí es lo que hice:

(1) Corté el bokchoy (白菜 báicài / bairtsay) en trozos pequeños (así se cocina más rápidamente)

(2) Añadí algunas bayas de Goji (枸杞 gǒuqǐ / goouchii) [beneficios potenciales: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27979197]

(3) Vertí un poco de agua caliente (de la fuente de agua potable proporcionada por el propietario de la cabina) en nuestras tazas aisladas para prepararlas. Entonces agregué los ingredientes, vertí una segunda vez agua caliente y tapé las tazas.

(4) Una hora después, disfrutamos del sabor de nuestra sopita (aunque sea comida improvisada, nos sentimos muy agradecidos con Dios por permitirnos de cenar).

Me parece que la mayoría de las verduras de hoja debrían cocinarse así con bastante facilidad. Si se agregan raízes alimentícias (como zanahorias), sería mejor cortarlas muy finamente y añadir un poco más de agua caliente.

En caso de no tener fuente de agua caliente, otra opción sería de hervir el agua usando un calentador solar y almacenar el agua en una tetera negra.

Espero que mi ejemplo pueda inspirar a personas que quieren sobrevivir en el colapso económico que parece avecinarse.


大約十幾年前,我跟當時的女朋友在台灣中部(彰化)附近爬山。我預訂了一個小小的木屋,好讓我們晚上休息,但到達的時候就發現附近連一家雜貨店都沒有。女友以為我們只好餓著肚子睡覺,還好我懂得就地取材,所以問題很好解決。

木屋附近我找到了一個流動攤販並且跟他買了水果還有一把蔬菜。即便沒有鍋子、沒有爐子我還是一樣能夠煮一鍋美味的湯。以下是我使用的方法:

(1)白菜撕成小塊(這樣煮得比較熟),加了一把枸杞

(2)我先用熱水讓保溫杯預熱一下,然後把水倒掉
(3)白菜和枸杞放在杯子裡,然後將熱水淋在上面,蓋蓋子。
(4)約一個小時後,打開了兩個杯子,享受兩碗蔬菜湯。調味料雖然沒帶,還是一樣感激不盡。

大多數葉菜類應該也可以這樣煮。如果想要胡蘿蔔之類,需要切很細很細,然後多加一點熱水。

如果沒有飲水機的話,可以用太陽能來煮水,然後將熱水存在黑色茶壺備用。

我這個食譜其實超簡單,寫在這裡是希望拋磚引玉,各位烹飪高手一定會想出更好的點子。

Wow! You speak at least 3 languages well enough to write in them!! I am impressed!

Thanks, but speaking more than one language is no big deal if you're born in Europe.

I was born in Europe :) and languages were not my forte. I actually had to repeat a year in school because I failed Latin and English. I do remember telling my English teacher that I was just fine with German only.
You never know what life brings your way :)

So sad. I strongly believe that anyone with a normal IQ (anything above 85 or 90) can learn several languages if they overcome their mental blocks and use the right techniques (including an initial silent period, lots and lots of easy reading on interesting subjects and opportunities to listen and chat with other people). If small children can learn a new language in a few months, of course adults can do it!

I don't completely agree with everything Benny says and does, but Chris Lonsdale is even better:

Moral: don't discourage yourself. Say goodbye to the ghosts of former teachers: go out and have fun!

You are right. It does take time. My English is pretty good now :) And I had an international grocery store and learned to name the food I sold in many different languages
